Description
Elongate; subparallel; subdepressed; shining; reddish-brown, eyes and antennae darker. Head: vertex sparsely punctate, faint medial carina present; frons not projecting; not depressed between eyes. Antenna: more than ½ body length; slender; antennomere 1 elongate; 2 elongate, shorter than 1, subequal in length to 3; female with 3 triangular, male with 3 elongate; 4–10 transverse, subequal in length; 11 rounded at apex, subequal in length to 1; 1–2 punctate with scattered setae; 3–11 setose. Pronotum: transverse; lateral margin straight then rounding to anterior angle in male, canaliculate, female with margin convergent then rounding to anterior angle, canaliculate; anterior angle obtuse, slightly produced; posterior angle acute; anterior margin emarginate behind head; disc flattened; surface punctate, center of disc impunctate; basal impression absent; pronotal length 1.1–1.3 mm; pronotal width 1.4–1.9 mm. Scutellum: elongate, triangular; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, margined; apex rounded; sutural angle without tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; moderately punctate-striate, rows converge and unite apically, at base punctures sparse and slightly confused; elytral length 3.7–4.7 mm; elytral width 2.0–2.6 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna punctate; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with pale seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 obsolete medially; last sternite with apical margin truncate medially in male, rounded in female. Leg: slender; punctate, each puncture with pale seta; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 5.1–6.3 mm.
Diagnosis
This immaculate reddish-brown species is recognized by not being depressed between the eyes, by the suture between abdominal sterna 1 and 2 being obsolete medially, and by the elytral punctures being confused basally.
